![]() ![]() By design the valves when open extend down into the combustion chamber and the timing system is all that keeps the valves from impacting the top of the piston which is why replacing those belts are such a big deal. Should get it back by end of this week so will advise outcomeįirst up, yes interference engines are that prone to damage. Hopefully this will take care of the problem and it will be up and running for a few more years at least. Sure its more than i would like to spend, but i do enjoy the car and it really wasn't the cars fault as this part was overdue for replacement. This along with the timing belt replacement kit will be 1400. So they're going to have the header reworked. Once my car got towed over (thank god for AAA), they tested for compression (whereas the previous shop apparently wasn't even putting that forth as an option), and found 2 of the 4 test points (cylinder, values, not clear to be which) were good but 2 were not. They quoted 700 for the timing belt and water pump kit replacement on the phone and unlike the previous shop they charged no inspection fee. The car has an interference engine, which I find today means they're fragile basically.Īre they really that prone to damage from timing belt breaks? Any suggestions on next course of actions? Should I repair belts and pump and then just see or? It could lead to $2-3k repairs so I'm told.Įdit: Update: So i ended up going to a 2nd shop which was more Japanese car specialized (or they at least had Japanese in their name whereas the previous didn't). Up to a few days ago I have not had any problems with the car beyond tires and oil changes (and not following correct maintenance procedures in concerns to timing belts I have found. However he says this could lead to large costs with the top needing to be rebuilt, and almost recommends not to try to repair. However he explains valves/stems/pistons could be damaged which cannot be seen unless you replace the timing belt and opened to inspect if damaged. Mechanic came back with a quote $1100 (after a $100 inspection fee) to replace the timing belt and water pump. I pulled over immediately and got towed to a local mechanic partnered with AAA. timing belt interference 60k miles 2002 2.0L 4 Cyl.Last night while getting on the freeway (going 15-20mph as I was making the circle to enter the freeway), the timing belt gave way, I lost power steering, rpm readouts and lights galore lite up on the dashboard. timing belt interference 60k miles 2003 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing belt interference 60k miles 2003 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing belt interference 60k miles 2004 2.4L 4 Cyl timing belt non-interference 60k miles 2004 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing belt interference 60k miles 2004 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing belt interference 60k miles 2005 2.4L 4 Cyl timing belt non-interference 60k miles 2005 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing belt interference 60k miles 2005 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2006 2.4L 4 Cyl timing belt non-interference 60k miles 2006 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing belt interference 60k miles 2006 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2007 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2008 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2008 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2009 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2009 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2009 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2010 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2010 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2010 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2011 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2011 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2011 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2012 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2012 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2012 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2013 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2013 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2013 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2014 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2014 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2014 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2015 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2015 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2015 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2016 2.0L 4 Cyl Turbocharged timing chain interference lifetime 2016 2.0L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2016 2.4L 4 Cyl. timing chain interference lifetime 2017 2.0L 4 Cyl.
